I overheard a conversation today. I was walking to my dentist appointment in the city, and I passed a young family at Chinatown. There was a cute little blonde girl, no more than 3 years old, whining to her parents about wanting to do something or see something, I couldn't quite make it out.

Then her mum turns around and says, "Yes, well, the thing is sweety that the world doesn't revolve around you, does it?"

I almost laughed out loud - imagine saying that to a toddler! Blondie looked a little confused, but she stopped whining, so I guess, Goal for mum. But what a crappy life lesson to learn when you're only 3.

Welcome!

Hi! I'm Sarah. I am a 30-year-old writer, mum, traveller, animal-lover, quasi-vegetarian, lip gloss fiend, movie buff and property addict living in Sydney, Australia. I love the smell of newly-printed magazines and books, a cup of tea and a treat at the end of the day, and packing for holidays.. the anticipation is half the fun! Thanks for visiting :)
